    Love the range

    I have used these after seeing peoples review, easy to get from m local chemist. I found there was a great range of colours, and not too expensive when compared to gettting a manicure at salon and you can reuse it again and again. It takes practice and time to get the finish right, but once you get the idea, it is really simple and easy to do. My polish on my toes lasted for 4 weeks!! Very impressed. The smell is also less than other gels i have used which is a big plus, and i would se this on my kids as well :)

    Stunning colours

    To start with I had to choose a colour! the colours are beautiful. I found the polish very easy to apply and it did not take a lot to coat the nail which is another bonus. It was long lasting which for a mum of four children says a lot. All in all a quality product.

    My fingernails were the BOMB and talk of the town!

    LOVED LOVED LOVED Orly Smart Gels! I was so excited to sit down with my (16 year old) niece and paint our nails together (that’s what girls love doing at that age). After going through her set of nail polish.. I asked her to put on the Orlys. So we both did! Not only did we get lots of compliments..with the bright colours.. but my nails stayed without a chip for almost 2 weeks! Being a mother of a toddler.. I’m constantly washing my hands, washing dishes, bathing my baby.. but the Orly’s.. just lasted forever! Thanks MoM rewards for giving me the opportunity to try these! I would recommend them to anyone! My only question is.. “Do they come in bigger sizes” ? (As I got the small bottles)

    Professional results achieved at home

    I am a nail polish junkie who has tried many brands of polish from low to high end hoping to find one that holds it’s promise of not chipping with long lasting gloss, that has not happened until I purchased the Orly SmartGELS. This system really delivers the what it promises and I have the added convenience of being able to apply it at the privacy of my own home. The first time took slightly longer as expected, but after that application and removal has been a breeze. I get over two good weeks of unchipped, glossy nails, and I am quite rough with my hands on a daily basis. I remove and reapply every two weeks or so, not because of any problems, but because my nails grow really fast. Have been wanting to purchase system for a little while now and I’m so glad that I made the investment, found the best deal on the tv shopping network which came with the whole system and two free gel colors.

    This photo was taken after one week of application, please excuse my dry hands!

    In response to all the fab reviews that MOMs have posted about this

    Let me begin by saying that I am a nailpolish junkie I mean I can paint my nails a different color each day of the week. The most thing I hate is chipped nails . I just hate the chipped nailpolish look and working full time in an office not only does the chipped nailpolish look unproffessional but I also sometimes dont have the time to reapply my nailpolish everytime it chips. This ORLY smart gel nailpolish kit sounds to be good , if it gives you non chipped nails for a week then I am up for it. Would definately be willing to buy this set for solving my chipped nailpolish issue. Anyone know of any sales from ORLY gel nail sets any discount vouchers.?? I am looking forward to ordering from them where can i purchase one?

    I love this product so much. Doesn’t fade or chip, leaving me feeling good knowing I can rely. That great a product even my nail place could not believe I still had same nail polish colour on from when I saw them 2 weeks prior. Way to go! Very happy

    Love no chip polish

    Ok so i confess…I’m a nail biter! I know, I know…who bad is that. But about 12 months ago i started getting false nails so i couldn’t bite them anymore. I found that I had to get them done every two weeks because my nails would grow and I’d constantly get gaps where the infills would wear away. But a friend of mine who does nails for a living used me as a guinea pig for her newly bought ORLY kit…and I’m never going back. It lasts another 2 weeks longer, saves my infills for another week and I’ve never had them chip…not once. And for a woman with toddlers…thats amazing.

    Vibrant nails

    WOW! The vibrant touch these colours gave to my toe nails in my new heels made me feel as though I had just a some expensive pedicure in an exclusive beauty spa. The colour looks vibrant for ages and didn’t chip as easy as other nail polishes i have used. definitely buying more :-)

    Funky, fab colours

    Thanks for my Orly Mouths of Mums monthly prize. A fantastic little set of nail polish in some funky bright colours. My little girl has enjoyed having her nails painted too. The small bottles are a perfect size for putting into a handbag and the glitter finish looks just fab for a fun night out :)

    Not yet a pro!

    I had the opportunity to have a play around with a friends gel set a couple of weeks back. It was a little hard at first but once you get the hang of it I found my nails were looking fab. Since I had them done i only chipped one today for the first time. So I was really happy how long they lasted.

    I would love to be able to review this product. I used to get my nails done professionally every three weeks (my own, not acrylics!), but no longer able to justify the expense. I’ve had good and bad nail experiences over the years from various salons – so very interested to trial an at home system. Typing all day is hard on my nails and ordinary nail polish doesn’t last a day without chipping!. Would love to give it a try!!!!

    Last time I painted my nails was on my wedding day…. almost 8 years ago. Things change with getting married, and having a family, being busy most of the time. But it would be nice to be able to paint my nails again, even paint my daughters nails as well, to feel like a girly girl again :)
